Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed August 27,1906. Serial No. 382261- To (all, whom t nea/y concern,.-

Be it known that I, ELIGIA WIEDEMANN, a

Ocnomowoc,' in the county of Waukesha and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useiul'Improvements in Receptacles and Closures for Same; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention consists in what is herein shown, described, and claimed, its object being to provide simple, economical receptacles having air-tight closures vertically adjustable therein to compensate for the removal of the contents of same, and thus prevent'the accumulation of mold on said contents, it being` designed to have the closures oneanother, and the notches of in contactwith saidcontents when in placev over the same, to thus Vdisplace air that would be otherwise present and detrimental.

Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings ipresents a side elevation of a fragment of af ed and closed Areceptacle in accordance with my invention, lartly in section on line 1 1 in Fig. 2, which. ig. .2 represents a plan view of the receptacle and its closure partly broken away.

Referri by letter to the drawings, A-indicates'a cylindrical receptacle provided .upon

its interior with lugs b, preferably in series vertically thereof, therefbeing two series oi the lugs diametrically opposite one another.

The closure for the receptacle consists of a pair of disks B C in ivotal connection, the pivot being the shan c of a handle D, made of the disks aforesaid to be com ressed when s the closure comprisin -said dis so y per `disk may engage lugs b of the receptac e is engaged with the receptacle. he notches of the u and the lower disk be turned to come under said lugs close against the contents of said receptacle, as herein shown, thus displacin air t at would tendvto induce mold, or bot disks may be caught between lugs of the receptacle, according to the level of contents of same. As the contents of the receptacle are removed from time to time the closure is lowered in said receptacle to en age with lugs b nearest the remainder of sai contents, compression of the latter being had whenever possible to obtainclose contactthereon of said closure and total displacement of air.

v- Iclaim- 1. A receptacle provided with inner Q two series vertically thereof and'diametl'ic Patented Dec. 25, 1906.

ally opposite, and a closure for the receptacle' l comprising two pivotally-united disksleach provided with a pair of diametricallyopposite peripheralnotches, the dimensions of whic notchesare relative tov thosef-ofsaid lugs, the notches o one disk bein registrable 4with thoseo'f'the other to clear t e aforesaid lugs.

2. A receptacley rovided with inner lugs in comprising vtwo. pivotall -united disks each f provided with periphera packing and a air of diametrically opposite peri heral note es, the dimensions of which note es are relative to those of. said lugs, the notches of one disk being registrable with those of the other to clear the aforesaid lugs.

3. A receptacle provided with opposite inner lugs, and a closure for the receptacle comprising two pivotally-united disks each provided with a pair of opposite peripheral notches, the dimensions of which notches are relative to those of said lugs, the notches of one disk being registrable with those of the other to clear the aforesaid lugs,

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand, at Oconomowoc, in the county of Waukesha andl State of Wisconsin, in the'presence of two witnesses. l L
